A British
Airways plane packed with passengers caught fire on a Las
Vegas runway just moments before it was set to take off yesterday.
The
flight which was bound for London Gatwick was taxiing on the tarmac at McCarran
Airport on Tuesday night when it suddenly caught fire after an engine failure.
According to reports, terrified
travelers on other flights captured the plumes of smoke coming from the
Boeing 777 as those on board were forced to jump down inflatable slides
and run away from the blaze fast enough.
Although about fourteen
people were taken to hospital for treatment from smoke inhalation, no one died. Others were hurt when they evacuated but not seriously.
